Matt Gibb, MD, the hospital’s chief clinical officer, told Concord Monitor the shuffling has been necessary to “create flexibility” in dealing with hospital’s nurse staffing challenges.
The hospital cites the migration toward high-paying traveling nurse positions and staff leaving healthcare altogether due to the stress of COVID-19 as leading causes of the shortages.
